Hmmm, Windows is a little picky about changes...

That is because this is your HOMEPATH setting somewhere in windows.
Try adding s.th. like this to /etc/profile:
unset HOME
unset HOMEPATH
at the beginning after the PATH declaration.

Hmmm.  No idea.
Move all your stuff from /home/Robert Mark Bram
to /home/RobertMarkBram, regenerate /etc/passwd:
$ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
or
$ mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd
